# How do I add my athlete's medical information?

> Record allergies, conditions, medications, dietary needs, and insurance on the Medical information page.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Medical info is stored **once per athlete** and **shared across every club** they belong to — each club only decides which fields its own form displays.
  * You get **curated pick-lists** for common allergies and conditions — with **free-text entry** for anything not listed — plus a fixed checklist of common **dietary restrictions**.
  * When your saved info is still current, **checkout can skip the medical step** automatically.
</Note>

Keeping medical details up to date helps coaches keep your athlete safe.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the medical page">
    There's no Medical entry in the main menu — reach the page from an athlete instead. From the **Medical** chip on their card in your **Athletes** list you land on a page with an **athlete selector at the top** and an **Add medical info** button (it reads **Edit medical info** once some exists). You can also open the **Medical Information** section on the athlete's own detail page — that page is already scoped to one athlete, so there's no selector, and its button simply reads **Edit** (or **Add medical info**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the medical details">
    Add **Allergies** and **Medical Conditions** from the common pick-lists or type your own, list **Current Medications**, check any **Dietary Restrictions**, and enter **Insurance Information** and **Additional Notes** as needed. Your club may also add its own questions to the form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Choose **Save Medical Information**. Because this record follows the athlete everywhere, you only maintain it in one place — no matter how many clubs they attend.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The form also collects **emergency contacts**, which have their own rules — see the related article. Fields you don't see are simply ones your club chose not to collect.
